Appearance

Aliisza appears as a disarming adult human female with lustrous black curly hair, sea green eyes, and sharply defined eyebrows. Her true form bears her heritage by the pair of black demon wings mounted on her upper back. She often carries means to take different shapes to hide her wings and thus not reveal her true self unless necessary.[1]

Personality

Aliisza is calculating and cold, always planning her moves ahead of time. Feeling that Kaanyr Vhok is soon to be a major power in the North she is as loyal to Vhok as a chaotic evil being can be.[2]

Aliisza is very aluring, and occasionally uses her sex appeal to get what she wants.

Recent History

During the events of The War of the Spider Queen, Aliisza was sent by Kaanyr Vhok to spy on the Menzoberanyr drow who were working to uncover the mystery of Lolth's Silence. During, the course of events she had several encounters with Pharaun Mizzrym. It was during one of these trysts that she accidentally became pregnant.

Later, while on a mission to discredit Helm Dwarf-Friend of Sundabar, she was captured, and sent to the House of the Triad in order to give her child a chance to live a life of good, and to give Aliisza a chance at redemption herself. While standing trial before The Guardian, the knowledge that she was going to have a child was revealed to her for the first time. After hearing her child must remain in that heavenly realm, Aliisza felt a very uncharacteristic moment of sadness and fear of losing her child, and she agreed to remain in the House of the Triad in order to hopefully be one day reunited with her child.[3] Later, it was revealed that she was under the effects of a geas that so compelled her. While her spirit was undergoing trials in the House of the Triad, Aliisza's body gave birth to her son, sired by Pharaun Mizzrym. [4]

While in the House of the Triad, Aliisza was allowed the freedom to roam the plane at will, and was occasionally visited by the deva, Tauran who tried to show her the error of her ways and to persuade her to the side of good. Upon seeing her son for the first time, Aliisza's magically removed memories came flooding back. She recalled how Zasian Menz, supposedly a cleric of Bane, who was working with Kaanyr Vhok, removed her memories and placed her under a geas in order to use her and her child as bait for Tyr's subjects to capture her in hopes of redeeming her soul. This would grant Aliisza access to Mount Celestia, and the hidden portal that came from the Plane of Fire where Vhok and Zasian would sneak through and meet up with her. Zasian turned out to actually be a follower of Cyric and was just playing both Vhok and Aliisza in some scheme of his own.[5]

Death

Aliisza died by draining her lifeforce as she cast a killing spell on Vhok during the invasion of Celestia. She died in the arms of her son, Kael, and not even the healing powers of the Lifespring could heal her. As she was dying she gave Kael his father's ring.[6]
